Before he changed his name and before he joined the San Antonio Spurs, Jeff Ayres suited up for the Portland Trail Blazers and brought the energy to the team huddle.

As a rookie for Portland, Ayres pre-game ritual was to fire up the team and needless to say, he really fired up the team. From yelling at the top of his lungs, pumping his fists, and cursing up a storm, Jeff made sure his teammates were ready to go to war on the court.

Check out what the former player named "Pendergraph" did while in Portland. I sure hope as this season progresses, he does the same for the Spurs. The look on coach Gregg Popovich's face will be priceless.
